Rhode Island Red Monument

Adamsville, RI

A granite monument in the village of Adamsville commemorates the Rhode Island Red, the chicken breed developed in this area during the nineteenth century. The bird later became Rhode Island's official state bird. The monument turns an otherwise ordinary roadside corner into a shrine to poultry history.
